Rocky Mountain Fever

(Lisa Here) We made it to Denver late Saturday Night. Half my family (Dad and his wife Jacque plus my brother Richard and his wife Angie and my nephew and niece Garrett and Tegan) live there. I lived in Denver for 1 year back in 1984. Jacque and Dad had an amazing salmon meal waiting for us. We stayed up late catching up on news and enjoyed getting settled for a few days in Denver. The next day we headed up to Mt. Falcon with my brother's family for a fun hike up to the top. We found a great view of Denver and Red Rocks. I later found that I had a unwanted visitor on my leg who decided to ride back to town with me. My first tick ever, but luckily I was in good hands with two nurses in the family. We enjoyed Memorial Day weekend just hanging with family, sitting outside on the patio and listening to my Dad's funny stories about being a rookie MP in NYC during the Korean War and before he shipped out to Japan. Lots of laughs.

On Tuesday we headed to visit our good friends Stacy, Chris and Billie Blue Hay who used to live across the way from us in Atlanta. Will and Billie were fast buddies at the age of 9months. We have not seen each other for a long while. We started our day off with a hike and talked about mountain lions and black bears throughout the hike. If we walked in a pack we figured, we would be in less danger. Ha! We then hung out in their hospitable home, laughed and ate great grilled vegetables, tofu, and rice. They are planning a trip to Portland and we hope Seattle this July. After an excellent breakfast of migas (Chris and Stacy are native Texans) and fresh fruit we got ready to head to Wyoming. Stacy then offered to cut Hunt's locks so we stayed a while longer then, took this funny picture out front of their house.
